Description
Zahra Abbasi Ranjbar and co-authors present a 2023 study on whether a simple blood measure can help spot ectopic pregnancy early. In this dangerous condition, a pregnancy grows outside the womb, usually in a tube. A screening of chemical signals had pointed to lactic acid as a possible marker.
The case-control study enrolled ninety-five women in early pregnancy: fifty with confirmed tubal ectopic pregnancies and forty-five with normal pregnancies of the same age. Blood samples were tested for plasma lactate. The ectopic group skewed older with higher parity and body weight, though not significantly. Lactate ran slightly higher in the ectopic group. The authors weigh whether such a cheap test could join early diagnosis, ahead of rupture.
